IV. Success Stories and relevance:

My journey started with an interest in a college club, their web domain piqued my interest which led me to joining a student development program. Later on, I went to join the team as a Jr. Web Developer for a year and then the Sr. Web Developer for two years. While in the program even adding small things like adding a hover effect to a button seemed like an achievement. These small steps served as building blocks and instilled confidence. I went on to be one of the creators of the Student Portal of college. This project turned out to be a turning point in my life, as it not only enhanced my skills but also led me to landing an on-campus placement. That’s how I went from being just a girl in a web development program to landing a job because of it. This journey has taught me that with dedication, continuous learning, and a passion for innovation, the realms of web development can pave the way for remarkable career opportunities and personal growth.
